Microsoft Windows 11

Hello, I would like to enable dual channel RAM mode on my laptop, but I don't know how (I've never used BIOS on laptops)

The laptop has 2x 8Gb cards with a 3200mhz frequency

Dual channel is automatic with matching memory chips in each slot.

 

If you download and install the free HWINFO utility it will report the memory is running in dual channel mode.

 

I use the portable version.

 

Free Download HWiNFO Sofware | Installer & Portable for Windows, DOS

 

No matter if the memory is running in single channel or dual channel mode the report will always indicate that the clock speed is 1600 MHz.

 

Single channel is 1600 MHz x 1 and dual channel is 1600 MHz x 2 which is how you get the 3200 MHz total.
